 Member 1629, 522 posts | Age:24 Current Bodyweight: 95kg Best Ever Lifts: Deadlift 180kg 3x5 1x8 Squats ATG No belt or knee wraps BS: 3x5 180kg 200kgx2 FS: 140kg Incline BP: 5x5 100kg Dead Stop Strict Press: 80kgx5 Been training for quite a few years made a lot of mistakes and learned a lot. Dabbled in a fair few programs such as daily "maxing", juggernaut, 5/3/1 and texas method. Gym goals for this year: Weigh over 100kg Bench press 140kg possibly for reps Dead stop strict press 100kg for reps. I had initially planned to back squat 230kg for reps, front squat 170kgx1 and deadlift 240kg for reps but I will have to see how strong I am after my knee is fully healed. Last year things were going really well until I hit the half way mark. This year I'm going to succeed all the way through. I'll be using my own variation of Mike T's intermediate program. The main challenge is proramming in the front squat and overhead press with equal to or higher priority than the big 3. Once my knee is healed I will start squatting again. Right now I get a sharp pain in the tip of the bone just below my knee cap when I squat. http://forum.reactivetrainingsystems.com/content.php?126-Gener... | ||

Member 1629, 522 posts | 6/01/2014 Dead stop strict press 82.5kgx3 @9 RPE 7% Fatigue Load Drop Paused Press to forehead 70kgx5@9RPE 7% Fatigue Load Drop Took me forever to reach 7% fatigue on this movement. I believe this is a PR at this weight for strict press. The last time I tried this I barely got two reps. Form was bad but it's nice to know things are moving forward. I'm very close to or at my best strength for the strict press making my goal for it this year more and more realistic. Gonna add in some rows/chinups and arm work to my tuesday and friday workouts for dem aesthetic gainz too. It's a shame stuff like extensions and curls have very little carryover to pressing. | ||

Member 1629, 522 posts | 15/01/2014 Dead stop strict press 75kgx7@10RPE 10% fatigue load drop Tried 8 reps but got stuck at forehead level. I probably would've got it if I didn't rush my final rep. 75kgx7 equals my pb of 80kgx5. Surprised at how quickly I've gotten to this after leaving the juggernaut method part way through with 72.5kgx5. Bodyweight has increased and my right knee is feeling better. | ||

Was only supposed to go up to 9rpe but I was too eager for a pr lol. 22/04/2014 Pin Press from forehead 1x8 72.5kg@RPE 5% fatigue load drop Pullups 3x5 Curls 3x9 Knee is feeling ok might try squatting on monday. | ||
